QOTD: IS THIS AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF THE WORLD?

“Ever notice they never give you information…”

PLENTY of info Online, separately or combined.

” Those ref Enoch, not the book of Enoch.”

Genesis 5:24 “And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him.”

“Walked with God … was not; for God took him”: Enoch is the only break in the chapter from the incessant comment, “and he died” (4:17-18; 1 Chron. 1:3; Luke 3:37; Heb. 11:5; Jude 14). Only one other man is said to have enjoyed this intimacy of relationship in walking with God, Noah (6:9).

Enoch experienced being taken to heaven alive by God, as did Elijah later (2 Kings 2:1-12).

Enoch’s translation stands about half way between Adam and the flood, in the 987th year after the creation of Adam. Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, and Jared were still alive. His son, Methuselah and his grandson Lamech were also living; the latter being 113 years old. Noah was not yet born, and Adam was dead.

His translation, in consequence of his walking with God, was “an example of repentance to all generations,”

Hebrew 11:5: The same Hebrew word is used for the “translation” of Elijah in (2 Kings 2:3-5). He went to heaven without dying. His bodily translation during the long antediluvian time before the Flood (sway of the curse), was a sign that, ultimately, reconciliation with God includes victory over death.

See how Enoch’s removal is expressed: “he was not, for God took him”. He was not any longer in this world; he was changed, as the saints shall be, who are alive at Christ’s second coming. Those who begin to walk with God when young may expect to walk with him long, comfortably, and usefully.

The true Christian’s steady walk in holiness, through many a year, till God takes him, will best recommend that religion which many oppose and many abuse. And walking with God well agrees with the cares, comforts, and duties of life.

In (Jude verse 14), the Scripture says that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied. You see, we find in these Scriptures that God not only walked and communed with Enoch, but he showed him into the future.

Verses 14-15-16 of Jude look right into the future to the end times.

Jude 1:14-16 “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,” “To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” “These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.”

Hebrews tells us how we can be translated to be with God. Enoch was the recipient of this gift.

Hebrews 11:5 “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”

I like the story that says, one day when Enoch was walking with God, that God invited Enoch to go home with him, and he did. (This exact statement is not in the Bible, but in all essence, was what really happened).

Do not confuse this Enoch with Enoch who was the son of Cain. They were total opposites.

I won’t write it down here, but you may read in Luke the 3rd chapter, beginning with verse 37, the genealogy of Seth to Enoch.

We could go on and on about this being firstfruits of the rapture of the church.

Verse 23 of Genesis says all the days of Enoch were 365. That is an interesting statement. For Enoch is still alive. It means his time on earth was 365 years. Even the number of his years is a peculiarity for there are 365 days in a year.

What a beautiful picture of the rapture of the church. When the trumpet blows in the sky, there will be a large number of people who will walk with God.”

“Verses 25-27: “Methuselah”: The man who lived the longest life on record. He died the year of the flood judgment (7:6).”

AND, i didn’t watch but maybe You’ll like this as well?

No problem. Watched a 5 hr video ’bout the masons primarily, neglected to save the link. picked up the site here somewhere. An amalgamation of many sites visited over time, not much ‘new’ but the mention of a few tomes names, immaterial in the overall scheme of things.

“For We wrestle not against Flesh & Blood” The main takeaway. i believe THAT. But a Question of Time & Timing.

*had ta Edit, forgot to ask a favor. If You have the time or inclination, could you do a review, based on Your prior knowledge for the rest of Us, ‘Authenticity’-wise?

Reluctant to watch before i read, very few movies EVER surpass the book.

Stucky’s trick utilizing Closed Captioning and Playback speed has been advantageous. Cut the 5 hrs. in half basically.

Thanks in advance, Your time and inclination permitting.

“This video has the potential …”

Reminds me of the commercial,

Adjusted the speed of Your proffered video, but still ended up skipping through most of it. But sincerely, Thank You for your tireless, continuing efforts.

IF it ‘awakens’ but a few…?

Genesis 18:28-32 “Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for [lack of] five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy [it].” “And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do [it] for forty’s sake.” “And he said [unto him], Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do [it], if I find thirty there.” “And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for twenty’s sake.” “And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for ten’s sake.”

Abraham intercedes for Sodom. His spiritual character is unfolded and exalted more and more. He employs the language of a free-born son with his heavenly Father. He puts forward the plea of justice to the righteous in behalf of the city.

He ventures to repeat his intervention six times, every time diminishing the number of the righteous whom he supposes to be in it. The patience of the Lord is no less remarkable than the perseverance of Abraham. In every case, he grants his petition.

“For ten’s sake”: That the number of righteous people necessary to forestall judgment had been reduced from 50 to 10 may have reflected Abraham’s awareness both of the intense wickedness of the cities as well as Lot’s ineffective witness there. Abraham probably had the whole of Lot’s family in mind.”

Preaching to the Choir for many, the attention span of those who may benefit the most is obviously not there, and 1:17 min, even at 2X?

Reading is a challenge as well. The single greatest ‘gift’ ever given to me, by my Mommy. IMHO, MUCH better, from ANY perspective.
